LETTER FROM THE EDITORS

Dear Readers,

As James Beard once said, “Food is our common ground, a universal experience.” Food not only nourishes the body, but it also nourishes the soul. These days, people are finding ways to make food interesting and tasty, especially in Austin. This city is one of the most culinarily diverse in the country, providing food for people of all different backgrounds and dietary restrictions. We decided to focus our magazine on four sections of Austin cuisine: Vegan, Locally-sourced, Fine Dining, and Bakeries, because these divisions of culinary make Austin so diverse and open to all people.
